I'm voting with my feet today! First big tool purchase in a while and it's not going to be Festool...I've been asking Festool to make one of these for quite a while now but apparently according to the local Fes rep it's not do-able! Even though other manufacturers make them.I'll give you a clue........It's going to be green, Can you guess who makes it, and what it might be?

Side note: The May June promo catalogue, Jeeze can it get any better than this. $45 dollars for an apron "while stocks last" don't all rush at once now.They were certainly scrapping the bottom of the barrel when they put this together.

No problem - just haven't come across that before! I was about to ask if there's a list of unacceptably off-colour words for us potty-mouthed Aussies to study, but I suppose you wouldn't be able to see that in the forum anyway

Nothing against you Aussies or anyone else. Just trying to keep it PG-13 or better. A list is not available, and if it were I would hate to post it and encourage others to try to circumnavigate around it.

Only one month in from April 1, and we hear that The Tool House is offering a customer benefit not being offered or may be in fact not able to be offered by other dealers: that is; an extended Warrenty of 2 more years.

Surely this is not in the spirit of the level playing field promoted by the ACC decision.

Indeed it may even be in breach of that decision - page 26 Conditions, ' . details of any changes made to standard dealer contracts'. In other words is Festool Australia providing additional access to its service and warranty sections that are not able to be accessed by other dealers, or is TH totally covering these additional costs?

If TH is covering these additional warranty costs, how is this different to a dealer who before April 1 also cut into their operating costs but by discounting?@benwheeler@DB10@Mr_Mod@Linbro@Bohdan

Hi Untidy, I couldn't see the reply on Face book, but then I'm not a member, do you need to be on Facebook to see replies? I'm not trying to be the last person alive who is not on Facebook, I just don't need the distraction, hard enough getting a days work in as it is.

I've not looked at the survey yet, but it can't be any worse than the AEG survey that I filled in a couple of weeks back, that was an hour of my life I won't get back!

The survey was~ 5-10 minutes... It seemed long.

My feedback that the repairs were lacking in feedback, was confirmed yesterday when the Mrs said that Festool called to say that they delivered the tool to the shop I got it from rather than directly to my haus.I am happy it is fixed though and look forward to using it again.

I did not think I would need the warranty, but it just did not work when trying to pick up liquid as it always shut itself off nearly immediately.

Which cordless Festool I get will be a challenge to decide if I win. I might need some help

90 years ... only thing I've seen in terms of Oz is the bit on the new pamphlet.

I haven't purchased anything Festool for almost 3 months ... lack of spare time lately has had me bordering on some rash decisions!

Don't think I'll be rushing out to grab a TXS either.

I do want to try one of the brushless motor ETS sanders ... annoying that they didn't do anything clever with a variable orbit. Had they made it variable I wouldn't have hesitated. Swapping out 150/3 & 150/5 for brushless equivalents isn't cheap.

I stepped away from getting the Vecturo, but I can see myself stepping back shortly.
